I laughed so hard at Phineas becoming one of their companions! And playing a part in the silver doe business! Basically, the book was everything I hoped it would be, though like you, I thought it really felt very bleak.
And I really would have been happier without the epilogue. I'm never happy with epilogues, though. I always feel like the author's thrown all their punches already and now they're going back trying to patch things up. LEAVE IT AS IT IS. HONESTLY. ...I would have much preferred an epilogue that was just about, like, everyone starting the process of healing. MORE THAN THAT, though, I would have preferred an epilogue that was just a few pages of elaborate setup for "a whale of a time." That is just how I feel.
